Dear Partners in Ministry,

Happy Spring (officially, anyway)... it was so nice to see buds on the tree outside my office window today. Now to see that temperature rise a little...

We are just 22 days away from Holy Thursday already! Thanks to everyone who is putting in the work of preparing for these holiest of holy days. 

Peace be with you,

Tony
